Pennsylvania Democrats win state House special elections, keeping majority intact

Pennsylvania Democrats are projected to win two special elections for state House, keeping their majority intact, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Democrats Ana Tiburcio and Jennifer Mazzocco won their Tuesday elections to represent Pennsylvania House Districts 22 in Lehigh County and 42 in Allegheny County, respectively.

The seats were vacated after former state Rep. Josh Siegel (D) was elected as Lehigh County executive and ex-state Rep. Dan Miller (D) won a spot on the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas.

Democrats were expected to keep both blue-leaning seats. But the party risked a tied 100-100 state House if they were to have come up short, which would have complicated Gov. Josh Shapiro’s (D) ability to pass his legislative priorities in the Keystone State.
